fidfOlly anticipated Ihe repeal ofttie fugitive slave law, besides the reject ion o{ all territo ries which asked for admission into the Union as States with constitutions recognizing slavery. But statesmen of the republican party must necessarily shape their sentiments by the letter, t! not by the spirit of the Constitution. Yet, sir, a very large proportion of the votes cast for their candidate for the Presidency, were made up of two classes, viz: first, those who are look ing to the abolition of slavery everywhere, and who hope to consummate this work through the republican party: and this is the class to whom the Senator from New Yoik, Mr. Seward, might say, "Slavery can and will be abolished, and von ami I will do it;" and to which the Senator from Ohio. Mr. Wade, w oojd give assurances of the prompt repeal of the "infamous fugitive siave law." The other class is composed of those who are actuated by motives of sympathy for the fate of the unhappy African: of those who believe that slavery is a great wrong upon the negro, and thai it is to be redressed and his constitution bet tered, by the Republican party. The leaders of that party have themselves been vigilant and persevering to create those very impressions; an ! if they will have the candor even now to turn around, and proclaim unmistakeablv I hat they do not hold the views entertained by those classes of people, nor seek to remedy the evils tfiey complain of, my word for it th-ir ranks will soon he materially thinned, and those of the ultra Abolitionists enlarged in a like ratio. This done and they will not carry 11 Slates at the next election. They will not then have all misguided preachers and fanatics upon their side, as they had in the recent contest. The aggressions of slavery is a favorite theme of the Senator from Ohio; hut lie has not, to my knowledge, M". President, specifically defined what he means by the phase. Jam not willing to submit to any aggression from slavery; or tile slave States, or the slave-holding people; and if the senator will point out aggressions on the part of either, I will join him in resisting and repelling them. But I can discover, as vet, none of their consequences. In what do these aggressions consist? In what department of Government are they to be found? ihe reverse of aggressions is obvious to all. Tile control- power which the slave states once possess ed, in all departments, iias passed awav, and, I think, forever. When the constitution was framed, and the Union secured, the slavehold ing States had the control ot all the branches of the Government. Now they control none. Then there were eleven slaveholding states and one non-slave holding. Now there are 16 free and 15 slave states, with six or seven territo ries to come in as free state*: then we shall have 2*2 free states and 15 slave states, Kansas disputed, and with the right in Texas ot mak ing two slave states. Surely there is nothing in this picture to alarm the Senator from Ohio; as an element of political power lie certainly does not fear it. The northern Males have the ascendency in both branches of Congress and in the electoral college. Where then shall we look for aggression? Is if in territorial acqui sition? Certainly not. When our indepen dence was established, the states north of Ma son's and Dixon's line, as shown by the Sena tor from Alabama, Mr. Clay, in bis speech made during the last winter, possessed an area of but one hundred and sixty-four thousand square miles, and those south of the same line an area of six hundred and forty-seven thousand square miles. Now, the slaveholding states possesses an area of eight hundred and eighty two thousand square miles, and the tree states, with the territories to become free States, an area of over one million seven hundred thousand square miles. Surety the Senaioi and his party cannot be alarmed at such aggres sion as this. And yet this charge of aggression was a constant and fruitful subject of discussion for the Republican party during tiie late cam- paign. The fugitive slave law was another. The !av was talked of, even hy men of position in society, as though it had no constitutional au thority: as though it were the mere act <>i Con gress; and that by its agency alone slaves were reclaimed. They knew better, Mr. President. The knew that the law on this subject is not!— in r ; the Constitution every tiling. The law gives no man the right to his fugitive slave. The Constitution has done this, and the Supreme Court of the United States has so decided; and the law is but the execution of the constitution al provision. Therefore, those who rati against the law, rail against the constitution: and those who reject anv portion of that instrument repu diate all its blessings. The Senator from Ohio has not hesitated t<> do this, and yet tie claims, I believe, to be a friend of the Union. Sena tors representing States, the Legislatures of which have taken distinct ground against the execution'of this law, say they are for the Uni on and the constitutional rights of all the stales. Now, was not this constitutional provision one of the compacts of the Union?—was it not one of the compromises of the Constitution ? Cer- t.tihlv it was; and no man Iras a lair claim to friendship for either who will not hold that it toibe faithfully executed. Th - denunciation of lifts law was one of the potent means of the campaign, to swell Mr. Fremont's vote. How much of loyalty to our people and He ir free institutions there is i:i it I leave others to de cide. But Ido not wish to be misunderstood. I am not standing here either as the advocate of slavery or the defender of the tyuith. I speak but to vindicate history, and particularly the history of the late Presidential contest, which has been so unfairly referred to. Ido not de sire, nor have 1 ewr sought, the extension of slavery ; and heartily do I concur with the Sen ator from South Carolina {Mr. Butierl when he said the other day, "I do not want the ex tension of slavery." Mr. Butler. I b"g to he understood correct ly. The Senator from Maine asked me how the remark which I made was to be construed? I said that I now maintain, as T have always maintained, that ail lines of distinction being wiped out, I was in what lawyers rail a condi ofiudiiTerency. I said, let the institution go where it would : I would not attempt here eith er to restrain or extend if. Mr. Bigler. I think that is the substance of the quotation I was about to read. The Senator from South Carolina remarked : - "I do not want the extension of slavery : I have never contended for it. If I had the right to vote to extend it by act of Congress, I would not undertake to do so ; f would leave that to the choice of those who settle the new Commonwealth." That is all I have ever desired. It is all the Democratic party contend for. The Senator from Texas. [Mr. Rusk.] if 1 understood him, expressed the same sentiment. Is there not au thority enough here, sir, to show that the wide spread allegation, that we seek the extend n of slavery hv the agency and power of the gov ernment, is untrue ? J do not agree nor do 1 sympathize with mnf h that is said at the South on the subject of Slavery. I have read articles from the "Soothside Democrat," the New Orleans "Delia," the Charleston "Slandard," and other Southern pa pers, on the subject of labor, compaiing white with black labor, from which 1 utterly and en tirely dissent. I have no sympathy with the Barnwell Rhett school of publics in the South, who talk so incessantly and so flippantly of a dissolution of ihe Union, as though it had cost our fat tiers nothing, as though it were worth nothing, and its dissolution would remedy a sin gle one of the evils complained of; and I cer tainly have no respect for the suggestion ol Gov ernor Adams, of South Carolina, that the slave trade shall be re-commenced. 1 condemn, dis card, and repudiate the fatal suggestion ; and 1 am gratified to believe that Southern statesmen and the Southern people will do the same thing. 1 have, however, an admiration for that class o! Southern Statesmen who declare distinctly and emphatically that they can only remain in the Union as equals. There is another class of political philoso phers, widely separated from those of whom J have just been speaking, for whose opinion I have, if possible, still less respect. J refer to Garrison, Wendell, Philipps, Theodore Parker, Henry C. Wright, Gerrit Smith, Spooner, and similar fanatics, who, in attempting illegally to abolish slavery in the States where it now ex- , ists, would dissolve the Union and aggravate the evils they lament. Although in the-main these acted with the Republican party in the last canvass, vet I am not uncharitable enough to bold the mass of that party accountable tor the monstrous sentiments of those traitors to our beloved institutions. And with the madcaps of the South I would throw overboard these fana tics of the East, and take care of the country without the aid of either. Mr. President, I have Wn force*! to speak n! the hat? feeling entertained hy a ot people in the North towards the people ol the Sooth, and of another class i;i the South towards the people in the North ; and the task has been by no means a pleasant one. 1 have no sympathy with that crimination and recrimination which is so calculated to estrange those who should lie friends and brethren. The people whom 1 rep resent in part upon this floor have no sympathy with a sectional contest. There may he some in the ranks ol the opposition who would press their opin ions to the dissolution of the Union ; tut so fir as Pennsylvania is concerned, I say, with pleasure, that tim mass of the opposition would, if they deemed the danger imminent, rise free from the shackles ol their leaders, to stand hy their country. The Democracy area unit upon the question. In Pennsylvania they have an affection which is coextensive with all our people, and with all ot the States of the Confederacy. Hep creed embraces the South as w ell as the North. She has been, and she ever will be, just to ail. Among the tiist to a dopt, she will he the last to disregard, the cov enants of the Constitution and the Union. ID: people remember well how we came to be uni ted, and how the Union has been maintained.— ! VV'e do not forget that when our independence was declared, southern and northern men conn- j seled together: tiiat the Constitution was the | joint production of the patriotism and intellect 1 ot both sections ; and that upon every battle- j field men of the South and men of the North stood orf-l! together under the re-splendent j banner of the nation that they did so in the; war of IXI2, and in the war with Mexico.— j Are not the events of the latter war fresh in our \ mentorr ? Do ve net r- tJ.ut i down upon the Rio Grand and at Buena \ ista, ' the sturdv volunteers of the North and of the South, under a Southern General, gained in— mortal victory over a hostile enemy ? V\ e do: and we remember, too, that upon the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, v. ending tin ir way to the city of Montezuma*, to vindicate the honor and dignity of their country, were found together the Pennsylvania volligeur and the Palmetto volunteer, under a northern General. We, of Pennsylvania, are for a fraternity of States, and of the people of tile States. All that we are all that we have been —we owe to the Union. !it is our hope in the future. Such is tfie leel ; ings of Pennsylvania. I would n<>; be vain of my State, but 1 must ' confess, that when I (ward a prominent public j man say the other day, "Pennsylvania is the j heart of the Republic," my pride was excited. If the sentiment he true, then, sir, the body pol- J itic will be healthful. Every limb will be in j vigorated. The heart will pulsate only in uni ; son with the best interests and happiness of the j people of every section. The vital strength , will he distributed alike to every part, and dls | ease will hopelessly assail what must he so pure land healthful. Neither fanaticism nor fi'iii uus- terism can make any impression upon thai good old Commonwealth. The storm of faction may rage, but she will come out of it more erect in her noble patriotism than ever. The more ter rible the trial the closer her people will cling to the Constitution, the ail; of our common safety. Central in h"r geographical position, and still more so 1 hope in the Confidence and aflection of her sister States, and equally so as to the sources of that spirit of discontent, which at times would seem to menace the existence of the Government, she may best perform the high office of the Keystone of the Federal arch, t believe she will perform it, should the crisis come, and that, though the controversy between the North and lite South, so much lamented by all patriots, may go on for centuries, she will maintain her integrity to trie Union, and be found standing like some impassible isthmus be tween the bitter waves of discontent, whether they dash against her northern or her southern side.

Bowman, Editor and Proprietor, "The Union of lakes—the Union of lands, - The Union of States none ran sever ; The Union of hearts, ami the Union of hands, And the flag of our Union forever!" A iireat B{>'tcl2. H7"Th" Gazette of to-day is enriched with the speech oi Iloa. W.w. BKILEII, recently delivered in the Senile of the United States, on the motion to print a number of extra copies oi the message of the President, in this speech, the Governor argues the slavery question so fully, and exposes the dupli city oi' our opponents so fairly and powerfully, that we feel satisfied it will command universal at tention, and the admiration oi' the Democracy, es pecially, throughout the Union. The author of this great speech is ceitaiuly one oi the most pointed reasoners, as he is one of the most eloquent debaters in tlm body of which he is a member. Pennsylva nia is proud of him, and well she may be. Strick en down by a midnight conspiracy, (although one of the best Governors we ever had,) the people soon el evated him to a higher trust, and a perusal of the speech alluded to will satisfy them that they were not mistaken in their man. Learned Senator's taxed all their ingenuity to con found and perplex him by asking questions, but they did not make much by the operation, as will be seen by his ready and happy replies. I. S. Senator. Ks** One of the mo-t important arts of the.next Leglsiulore will be to elect a United States Senator to serve for six years from the 4ih of .March next; and, although we i.ave but a small majority in that | body, owing to the infamous apportionment of the S'ate, which gives our opponents the Senate against a popular majority of thousands; yet it is quite suiti cieiit to secure the services of a true and faithful De- j n.oc rat. 'i here are a number of distinguished gentlemen | named in connection with the trust, and the Legt-- i iature will no doubt choose the man they deem most i competent to perform the gieutest good to the conn- j try and the party. We may be allowed to say, how- j ever, that were we a member of that body, we would j vote lor and advocate the election of JOHN W. FORNEY, believing him to be the man of all others named lor the present crisis. He riot only possesses j ability of the highest order, but a degree of nerve \ and energy with which but few men are gifted. He j is as familiar with the politics of Pennsylvania and I of the Union as he is with the alphabet, and his keen i perception would be a sure guarantee that the inter- ! ests of the people would not sutler in his hands. With such intellects as BJGLER and FORNEY in the Senate, Pennsylvania would again assume her proper position in that dignified body. Let our Re- ! preservatives act wnh a wise discrimination in this ! matter, ami not he governed by personal or local fa- • voritei-m in the discharge of this great duty, and j they will reflect lasting credit upon themselves and j their country. Cf7"The Harrisburg Telegraph, the organ of Gov. J POLLOCK, in its issue of last week, in speaking of I John P. Sandeison, of the Philadelphia News, alleges ! that his conduct during the las' campaign was mark- j ed with FALSEHOOD, TREACHERY, and COR- j KUPTION." Ami this is the identical "John I'." j who wants a black republican elected speaker of the Senate, one too, who turned traitor To Filmore or; : the eve of the elections and the same mail that is j now expending all his< energies in charging Fraud upon the Democracy, and in writing articles design- | ed to exclude from the right of suffrage all who are i unable to read and writi}!

Yet these were the rotten elements which j proclaimed "Union far the sak-> of the Union." £7~We observe by the Uhambersburg papers that Col. MCCI.L'KE, well known as editor of the Cham- j bersburg Repository and Harrisburg Telegraph, has commenced I hie practice of the law us 'hat place, in company with Mr. McClejland. In all his social re lations, Col. McClure is donsidered decidedly a cle- j ver man and a gentleman,fand, as the publisher ot a paper, he certainly exhibited one ot the neatest sheets ufThe country. Notwithstanding the Col. i* an uncompromising enemy of the Democracy, his bold and manly denunciation of Know Nothingism tnade hiin many warm friends '.n the ranks of our | party. The fact that the K. X's in Bedford hate him with a perfect hatred, i-, we think, the highe t le commendatioti he could receive from thatxpiarter.— In the practice of his profession, we wish him great pro-perity—and, as we believe his "better half" (an elegant and accomplished lady) rather holds to the Democracy, we should not be stirpr zed- if the Col. would eventually fall back upon that column a- the sure support of the country. When he does we will announce the fact in the Gazette. E7"The Louisville Journal has made the wonder ful discovery that the democratic votes in Kentucky, at the ia-t election, "were increased to an unprece dented degree." That's so, and that is what ena bled us to carry that ol I Gibraltar ot Whiggcrv, which refused to ite Abolitiomzed, SecHonnlizedand Know Nothingized, under the lead of such men a- Fremont AND I'iimore.

He modestly says "it is a bald lie manufactured nut of the whole cloth," and be defies Bowman or any body else to support the assertion." We make no assertions by random, and alw-ays stand ready to maintain any charges con tained in our columns, when called upon to do so. We will take Francis himself, as*"afi exemplifica tion of the truth of this charge, he being the official agent ol the party in this county, who even went -o lar as to ask honorable men to support hi- profligate political views, although against their own judgment, simply as a matter of favor to him, the said Francis! Now, Francis has not denied, and will not denv, that be took a solemn OATH, on the Holy Bible, in a secret place, in which he obligated himself to sup port the dark conspiracy handed together and doing business under the name ami firm of KNOW-NOTH INGS. This organization made a positive and di rect war upon every man of foreign birth or acknow ledging the Catholic religion, no matter even though he should be the descendant o! a signer ol the decla ration of independence, or a man who had immortal ized himseii in defence of the Stars and Stripes of his adopted country. The good and bad were to be stricken down alike! The main feature of the orga nization was to degrade and di-gtace white men of foreign birth, by denying them the right to either vote or hold office, a fact too generally know n to ad mit of the shadow of doubt. So far was this feeling manifested, that foreigners, (women and children in cluded.) w ere -hot down in the streets of Cincinna ti, Louisville, Orleans, and el ew here, a- Though that was all their Maker intended them for. For a year, they were in danger of assassination if they dared to open their mouths on a political subject. Not only so. Gentlemen of high standing in the rank-of black republicanism, who were known to give utterance to the real sentiments of their party, publicly advocated the right o! the negro to vote and To hold office, at the very time that a systematic e!"- tort was making to deny to white men the same pri vilege. Rev. Dr. St 11 MUCKER, ol' Gettysburg, in pre: ence of Rev. Mr. Benedict and a number of oth er persons, gave utterance to these sentiments in j Sehellsburg last summer, and prophecied that the day va< jot di-Tant when the negro and the white man would meet upon a common platiornt; that the negio was better calculated to understand our sys tem of Government than the hordes of illiterate foreigners ushered to our shores. Here, then, is the published declaration, by the highest authority, tha: they considered negroes better thou white men, if stained with -lie crime of having been born tn anoth er part of the Creator's dominions. But further. Mr. JOHN KING, of Hopewell, who represented the "Americans" in the State Conven tion which nominated the FILMORE electoral tick et, declared on the streets of Bedford, that he would rather see Fred. DOUGLAS, a coal-black NEGRO, elected President than James Buchanan, lie justifi ed a Republican Convention in Indiana in calling a NEGRO to act as a Vice President at one oi their meetings—and argued generally in defence of the common rights of the negro. Mr. Win. Hartley wa pre-er.t and heard this conversation. Other men high up in the ranks said the same thing, and the whole party yelled "ANY THING to beat Buchan an." But, to cap the climax, Negroes are allowed to both vote and hold office in New York, and this right was conferred upon thrm by the oat b-houiid conspi racy above alluded to, who wouiJ deny tfie right to Foreigners or Catholics to enjoy either one of these privileges. Whilst the entire know nothing and abolition press employed at! their energies in sympathising with the eahnlition of the poor negro, the- same instruments iHrre employed in giving utterance to the grossest "W •* —*-• ... 'I Ua io., not even a school-boy who is not posted on ail the points stated —and, if they do not prove our ci utge, which Mr. Jordan brands --as a lie inaiini'aetui ed out ol the whole clotu," then two and two Joes nut make four!

The IVreck of the Schooner .A'inborn at Fort Hope, Canada. The wreck of this vessel on Wednesday last was attended with los-of life under singularly painful circumstances. In endeavoring to make the harbor! she struck on the -hoal to the east of it, and immed.- . ately careened over. It wa* blowing a terrific gale > at the time, and the frost was so severe that every rope glistened like so much crystal. The hands first took shelter under the bulwarks on the quarter deck, hut these were soon carried away, and they were o bliged to take the mainsail boom, which was literal ly covered with ice. Hundreds upon hundreds of people w ere looking from the shore at Point Hope, a- ( bout two hundred yards distant, at the painful and de'perate struggle of the brave tars clinging To at spar as it w as swayed about by the storm and wash ed by the *urf. At length a jolly boat, with Cap tain Woods, of the Annie Maude,' of Port Hope, in ' command, put out to rescue the freezing and surf- ' beaten crew. A cheer rose from every voice as the boat gained the deep water, and was gallantly cre-ting the waves to reach the schooner. But after repeated and al most superhuman efforts to bring the boat alongside, •'■■■•■'■r 1 !.<■ attempt.

Tin- poor sailors, who were motionle,. durin the druggie of the boat to reach them, again waved their hand- from the boom, tor oil- last eftoit to . aVp them. The feelings o: the hundreds 0 f spectators at tins tirnje are wholly indescribable. In a sbdrt time, however, another boat with a fresh crew put out, a.ni.l cheers whirl? -tran-elv mingled with the w Id -form. Glonouslv did Their j mount the swell*. which now threatened to sweeo ; the poor sailors oil' the boom. Wave alter wave jh,.! j created, as hearts beat high that witnessed the., and as hopes sunk and rose • they disappeared be' Tweeu and eoou ro.-* above the swells. At lei th , they reached the schooner, and one vast cheer wa< | heard as they made fast to the davitt. The crew ~ the boat, with the exception of two men climbed in fo the schooner to help the half frozen sailor, offthe boom. (Toe was handed down; but ere a >eroi 1 Could be lowered a fearful swtei almost hid the hour' another came and she di-appared, and the poor -ui lor who had jo>r been handed down to what was 1- * last hope of safety, was tie only one of the three that was ever seen, lie rose, struggled with the breakers, caught a rope, vva- hauled on the deck of (hp schooner, and was in a few minutes afterwards frozen to death. A cry of despa.r now ro-e from ev ery one. The brave crew of the boat were added to the crew- of the schooner, at:d wilder and wilder still ra ged the storm. From a point of land above thu schooner, a scow was -et adrift, in the slender hope that it might float to her. Itstianded <n a few sec onds afterward-. Fiom the Grand Trunk wharf which was to the windward, their best boat was' floated off, but its fate was like their hopes— it soon sunk. At la-t a brave old sk'pper—honor to his riamennd tohis heart—said he would runke one more eflnrt to save them, or he would peris), ,n, the a 't% tempt. Daring, desperate as was the resolve, hi* Cv boat vva- manned by sailor- and fisheimen in a few seconds, ai d literally arnii! cheers and prayers, they pii-hed her : nto the bo ling surf. The previous boats having been too small to live in the s,. a near the schooner, ths la-t vves a large am! heavy boat ; and for a long time if was nne dead struggle to keep their own with her. She rose no bly to the waves but she made little or no headway, every nerve of the brave crew was sjrained, bat they' could only defy the storm : they coold not gain upon it. At last as the cries o! those who were on hoard the schooner were growing wilder or, the beach, and the poor sailors were seen freezing on the boom, there appeared a lull of a few seconds and one vast effort brought the boat under the stern of I he schooner. A cheer ro-e from her crew. Men, women and children, as they nil had but one heart, broke out in to a wild scream of ecstacy and hope on shore. The poor frost-bitten crew were safely handed down into the boat, and as she ore-fed the waves and bore them triumphantly to the shore, it seemed as it ail human sympathies were ab-orhed in one in tense feeling of admiration of those who had beha ved with all the generosity of sailors, arid more than the nobility of most men.
